Detailed Description Containing Key Facts: This single features a powerful pairing of Max Romeo, a seminal roots reggae singer, and Jah Lion (also known as Jah Lloyd), a notable deejay and producer, from 1976. "Fire Fe The Vatican" is a politically and religiously charged roots reggae anthem by Max Romeo, known for its Rastafarian-influenced critique of established institutions and its fiery vocal delivery. It's built on a heavy, hypnotic rhythm section with prominent bass and drums, often featuring a deep, spiritual vibe. The B-side, "Leggo" by Jah Lion, would typically be a deejay cut (toasting) over the same or a related riddim, offering a different lyrical perspective or an instrumental dub version, showcasing the symbiotic relationship between vocal tracks and deejay/dub versions common in reggae production of the era.
